17-year-old Patrick Sullivan was killed in a car crash on New Year’s Day. The town of Rockland, MA was devastated, as he was a fine young man that was loved by his family and friends.

Following his wake, 22 of Patrick’s friends went to a local restaurant for a meail. When they finished and asked for the check, they were surprised when they were told they didn’t have to pay it. A Rockland city police officer took it upon himself and picked up the $400 tab and left without leaving his name.

The officer was Sgt. Greg Pigeon, who wanted no recognition for his act of humanity. Pigeon went to the same high school as Patrick when he was a teen and was deeply affected by Patrick’s death. What he did for Patrick’s friends and family is enough to restore your faith in humanity.
